when i'm wearing my jorts i feel so free my thighs peaking out for my mom and dad to see there is only one opinion that means anything to me i'm in love with myself and everyone i can see i'm in love with myself and everyone i can see i'm in love with myself and everyone i can see

oh my god i know who you are there's no use dreaming about the stars you will go so far away from home, still in your car all of your friends they dreamed they would hate you all of your family swears that it's not true, they're being dramatic these problems are not new just load up the next song into the queue if this was a love song this would be the part where you and i would see that the dumbest fucking rhymes could bring you back to me but i am fine being lonely yes i am fine being lonely no one can hurt me now no one can hurt me now my mom is fine she lives somehow no one can hurt me now

you sent me tiny letters to tell me what you see across from your hospital bed watching daytime tv i read these tiny letters trying my hardest to see across from your hospital bed you are better than me "if you think that this is killing me you should see when my body is crushed by debris this ain't killing me"
10.
hahahaha what was that that you just said i am sorry that you're dead i made a wish it wasn't in my head i probably shouldn't have done that i think i miss you more than you miss your cat i can't believe you fell for that i can't believe in anything after that "well what do you know about love?" he said to whoever he's above "i think i know a lot" they said and that was that they both went back to bed "well what do you know about love?" he said it to whoever he's above "i think i know a lot" they said and that was that they both went back to bed

i wanna be alone right now and forever maybe i'm broken or it might be the weather i've been so tired lately not like this when we're together i know this is not me i will get better i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying so hard to be more like you i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying so hard to be much more true i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying so hard to be more like you i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying so hard to be much more true

just because i am sane doesn't mean that i don't want to share your pain just because i am sure doesn't mean that my heart isn't beating anymore what am i supposed to say to you hello's not enough when i miss you i listened to the microphones today if phil can do this i will be okay
13.
this is where i loved you for the first time and the last and that is where i loved you for the second time i hate it when people say that "love is like a cancer" because my mother has a cancer and it doesn't feel like love that's okay i promise you will feel better in a while "come back home i miss your silly smiles" i'll come home when i am ready i'll talk to you when things feel steady but for now you'll have to learn to live in silence like i did i'll come home when i am ready i'll talk to you when things feel steady but for now you'll have to learn to live in silence like i did and this one is kind of similar to all the others that i've written since i met you since since i wasn't just another it was pretty warm today what will it be tomorrow will it fill up the whole atmosphere with love for me to borrow
14.
i heard you scream everyone you know is starting to settle down a tainted bloodstream i just want to hear about this life you've found you told me last night in your dream i made you a promise i would hang around i didn't know what awful was til you skipped town i didn't know what awful was til you skipped town i could've sworn as you rose your obituary was written in prose i'd never seen your father cry i don't see him anymore i wonder why how could i tell your mother that the second that i left was when they called me back if i had to come home i would need you i ask myself if i killed you if i could think about it i wouldn't want to if i had to kill you i guess i would but i wouldn't want to if i had to kill you i guess i would but i wouldn't want to
15.
how it feels to kiss trees i can't write these pretty songs especially about you but that don't mean that i won't try to wrap my arms around you took my heart out of my chest and you threw it on the ground and you said this is me and this is you and this is where i found you pressed your hands against my body and held on until i passed i dreamt of what i could become i dreamt those dreams to last you laughed at me and said "no one comes here anymore" that's because we've just begun we've just opened the door when i see you tomorrow i'll smile and you'll say "i don't know what has happened but i hope things are okay"

honestly, i hate every single thing i write (jordan, never apologize) i'm sorry i played them for you (there's no need to worry like that) i'm sorry you listened for night after night (your songs are pretty in their own right)
